A Wonderful Dream

The other night I had the most wonderful dream i've had in a while. I dreamt of "My Little Firecracker" who is my boyfriends grandmother connie. I named her my little firecracker because every time i would see her she was so full of energy and life, always happy. Connie would remind me of a little firecracker jumping around, it was always so cute. =) In my dream she was so happy and smiling just as i remember her. It felt great to see her and give her the biggest hug I could give her. The best part is it felt so real. So yesterday when I came home I pulled out my singer sewing machine and the dress that I started to make with connie. We started that dress but sadly were never able to finish it. On the night she died I made a promise to myself to finish the dress we started together. Since that night I really hadn't touched my sewing machine, so yesterday after having such a wonderful dream I felt it was a good time to finish what we had started. I worked for hours trying to remember everything Connie has taught me, and this was as far as I got before i went to bed

                          
                                                This is the top of the dress.

I know I should have waited till everything was done but i couldn't. I was very surprised that I was able to even get this far. It may not look like much now but I promise when I'm done it will look like a dress. =) I hope! =)

  1. Thank you for the beautiful description of my mom. It is so true! And I know the dress is going to turn out great. It's good to show everyone the results little by little to the beautiful end product so they can be inspired to do the same. Can't wait to see the end results!
